Details

Trastevere is Rome's nightlife hub with narrow streets full of restaurants and bars. It gets crowded in the evenings, especially on weekends, but that also means it feels safe to walk around at night. The area has a bit of a bohemian reputation though it's become pretty touristy. There are morning markets and the streets stay busy late into the night.

Historic and atmosphericVibrant market cultureAncient Jewish heritage+2

Good food and rich history. The morning market is busy and the Jewish Quarter has excellent restaurants. Generally safe with visible police, but the crowds mean pickpockets work the area, especially during market hours and busy restaurant times in the evening.

Luxury shopping paradiseElegant and refinedTourist-heavy+2

An upscale, safe area centered on luxury shopping. Expensive and packed with tourists, but the constant crowds and police presence make it secure. Good metro access. The steps themselves are just for photos - sitting on them gets you a €250 fine.

Come here for traditional Roman food and the morning market. It's more local than central areas. Safe during the day, but some streets feel isolated at night so take taxis after dark. The market runs 7am-2pm.
